Reading other people's thoughts is no longer 'impossible'

American researchers have found a way to "read the mind" of others.

A recent study from the University of California Berkeley, Yale and New York (USA) shows that the "reading mind" of others is no longer the idea of ​​appearing only in fantasy films. In fact, scientists have been able to successfully reproduce the face image that appears in the minds of others.

The team used definite magnetic resonance imaging to work in different areas of the brain by measuring blood flow. This result helps researchers reconstruct faces that appear in the brain, or the image that the person is seeing firsthand.

Firstly, the volunteers participated in watching 300 different faces carefully and the team will carefully record brain activity during the viewing process. After that, 30 new faces were given to volunteers, scientists will use the brain activity recorded in the previous test, compare with the reaction when watching the new face to recreate the image. read from their brains.

Finally, 30 faces were collected from brain scans. Although the image quality is still quite fuzzy, they are quite similar to the real ones outside. The skin color of the 30 selected people is perfectly reflected and 24 out of 30 reproduced images are accurately identified whether the face is smiling or not.

The most complex factor in brain thinking is the determination of sex and hair color . About two-thirds of the reproduced images identified the correct gender, but only ½ of the 30 images were accurate about hair color.

This research was started about 2 years ago and recently recognized. The researchers said they need to make many new improvements to the algorithm to produce more accurate results from brain scans.

Magnetic resonance imaging results will support the team to reconstruct the image of the faces of the volunteers seen earlier

The research team also added that when this research continues to improve, it will open new hopes in the health sector, especially the study of mental disorders, autism . Here, the The specialist will find a way to treat it by recording the dreams people experience.
